• Quantitative molecular detection of larval Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in stomach contents of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) marks regions of predation pressure 

      Allen, Bridie; Ray, Jessica Louise; Tiedemann, Maik; Komyakova, Valeriya; Vikebø, Frode Bendiksen; Skaar, Katrine Sandnes; Stiasny, Martina H.; Folkvord, Arild; Nash, Richard David Marriott; Stenevik, Erling Kåre; Kjesbu, Olav Sigurd (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Mortality rates in the early life-history stages of fishes are generally high yet identifying the causes remain unclear. Faltering recruitment rates of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in the Norwegian Sea indicate a ...
    • Reconstruction of the birth of a male sex chromosome present in Atlantic herring 

      Rafati, Nima; Chen, Junfeng; Herpin, Amaury; Pettersson, Mats; Han, Fan; Feng, Chungang; Wallerman, Ola; Rubin, Carl-Johan; Péron, Sandrine; Cocco, Arianna; Larsson, Mårten; Trötschel, Christian; Poetsch, Ansgar; Korsching, Kai; Bönigk, Wolfgang; Körschen, Heinz G.; Berg, Florian; Folkvord, Arild; Benjamin Kaupp, Kaupp; Schartl, Manfred; Andersson, Leif (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The mechanisms underlying sex determination are astonishingly plastic. Particularly the triggers for the molecular machinery, which recalls either the male or female developmental program, are highly variable and have ...
    • Recurrent convergent evolution at amino acid residue 261 in fish rhodopsin 

      Hill, Jason; Enbody, Erik D.; Pettersson, Mats E.; Sprehn, C. Grace; Bekkevold, Dorte; Folkvord, Arild; Laikre, Linda; Kleinau, Gunnar; Scheerer, Patrick; Andersson, Leif (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The evolutionary process that occurs when a species colonizes a new environment provides an opportunity to explore the mechanisms underlying genetic adaptation, which is essential knowledge for understanding evolution and ...
    • Respiration rates of herring larvae at different salinities and effects of previous environmental history 

      Berg, Florian; Andersson, Leif; Folkvord, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Metabolic rates of early life history stages of marine fishes show considerable inter-individual differences and are highly influenced by extrinsic factors like temperature or food availability. Measuring oxygen uptake ...
    • The effect of nutritional condition by two nucleic acid derived indices on the growth to post-flexion of Atlantic bluefin tuna and Atlantic bonito larvae 

      Blanco, Edurne; Reglero, Patricia; Hernández de Rojas, Alma; Ortega, Aurelio; de la Gándara, Fernando; Folkvord, Arild (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Notochord flexion increases the swimming capacity of fish larvae, aids in the capture of mobile prey, and coincides with the timing of when the physiological capacities of larvae begin to develop significantly, allowing ...
    • The genetic basis for ecological adaptation of the Atlantic herring revealed by genome sequencing 

      Barrio, Alvaro Martinez; Lamichhaney, Sangeet; Fan, Guangyi; Rafati, Nima; Pettersson, Mats; Zhang, He; Dainat, Jacques; Ekman, Diana; Höppner, Marc P.; Jern, Patric; Martin, Marcel; Nystedt, Björn; Liu, Xin; Chen, Wenbin; Liang, Xinming; Shi, Chengcheng; Fu, Yuanyuan; Ma, Kailong; Zhan, Xiao; Feng, Chungang; Gustafson, Ulla; Rubin, Carl-Johan; Almén, Markus Sällman; Blass, Martina; Casini, Michele; Folkvord, Arild; Laikre, Linda; Ryman, Nils; Lee, Simon Ming-Yuen; Xu, Xun; Andersson, Leif (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-03)
      Ecological adaptation is of major relevance to speciation and sustainable population management, but the underlying genetic factors are typically hard to study in natural populations due to genetic differentiation caused ...
    • Tracking oocyte development and the timing of skipped spawning for north-east Arctic haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) 

      Tronbøl, Frida; Johannesen, Edda; Alix, Maud; dos Santos Schmidt, Thassya Christina; Charitonidou, Katerina; Folkvord, Arild; Kjesbu, Olav Sigurd (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The present study tracked oocyte development over 9 months and noted incidences of ‘skipping’, i.e., adults terminating their upcoming reproductive cycle, in field-caught north-east Arctic (NEA) haddock (Melanogrammus ...
